Safety Precautions

Before installing and putting this equipment into operation, please read these safety precautions and warnings carefully and all the warning signs attached to the equipment. Make sure that the warning signs are kept in a legible condition and replace missing or damaged signs.

WARNING

This equipment contains hazardous voltages and controls hazardous rotating mechanical parts. Loss of life, severe personal injury or property damage can result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed.

Only suitable qualified personnel should work on this equipment, and only after becoming familiar with all safety notices, installation, operation and maintenance procedures contained in this manual. The successful and safe operation of this equipment is dependent upon its proper handling, installation, operation and maintenance.

•The CombiDrive® operates at high voltages.

•ALWAYS isolate the equipment from the power supply before starting any work on it.

•The dc-link capacitor remains charged to dangerous voltages even when the power is removed. For this reason it is not permissible to open the equipment until one minute after the power has been turned off. When handling the open equipment it should be noted that live parts are exposed. Do not touch these live parts.

•The equipment must not be connected to a supply via an ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker - see DIN VDE 0160, section 6.5).

•The following terminals can carry dangerous voltages even if the inverter is inoperative:

-the power supply terminals L1, L2, L3.

- the motor terminals U, V, W.

•Ensure that the inverter’s cover has been fitted correctly before applying mains power to the CombiDrive® . If a Braking Unit has been supplied, ensure that the terminal connections fitted to the underside of the cover mate correctly with those on the inverter when refitting the cover.

•Only qualified personnel may connect, start the system up and repair faults. These personnel must be thoroughly acquainted with all the warnings and operating procedures contained in this manual.

•Certain parameter settings may cause the motor to restart automatically after an input power failure.

•This equipment must not be used as an ‘emergency stop’ mechanism (see EN 60204, 9.2.5.4).

CAUTION

•Children and the general public must be prevented from accessing or approaching the equipment!

•This equipment may only be used for the purpose specified by the manufacturer. Unauthorised modifications and the use of spare parts and accessories that are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment can cause fires, electric shocks and injuries.

•Keep these operating instructions within easy reach and give them to all users!
